Hey guys, after years on Mac OS and windows- I finally installed Linux (Fedora). Honestly enjoying it more than I imagined.

I only issue I have is gaming(to be expected). It would be awesome if I could get Cyberpunk ray tracing in FSR 4. The only option I have is the fsr2 and it looks like garbage.

Any advice is hugely appreciated. Just remember, I’m only a week deep in this OS so still trying to learn.

PC specs- amd 7800x3d, 9070xt, 64gb ram running expo.

Hello Guys,

I am a recent and happy Linux convert (yay!) but I can;t get my Epic Games to work (uhh). I installed the Pop!_OS disto of Linux prepared to do a bunch of terminal work, but I was surprised that all I really had to change in how I used the computer was installing program. It was more similar to a Windows experience than Mac aside from that. I got ONLY OFFICE instead of MS Office and have been really enjoying it with almost zero setbacks... until now.

Basically, when I try to launch a game, it clearly starts, but then just stops. Sometimes displaying an error message.

This window appears when I have \"Disable umu\" checked in the games 'Advanced' settings tab. It doe not appear is that setting is not checked (umu is enabled).

I tried installing Heroic Games Launcher through both the Pop!_Store and through flatpak. I logged in and out of Epic Games. I reinstalled Heroic. I tried to toggle the "disable umu" setting in the games "Advanced" settings tab. I tried using Wine-GE-Latest instead of GE-Proton-Latest wine versions. I updated and repaired flatpak in the terminal. I also tried Lutris Game Launcher, but I couldn't even get the Epic Games store to run on that... possibly for the same reasons??

There is a lot of posts about this on reddit already, thatis where I got all the above tricks. But none have helped me. Most of them were in r/SteamDeck so I wasn't even sure if it was really the same issue.

However, so far one game has launched and run: Brotato. It is a very simple 2D top-down shooter game, kind like one of those mobile ads games. However, I want to play Slime Rancher which is much more complicated 3D first-person adventure/farm sim game. I am assuming that Brotato is simply so simple that is doesn't use what ever element is buggy and thus launch successfully.

Additional notes:

This screen appears before every game launches, is this normal?

If this is not a helpful post, please let me know how I can explain it better or what information I can better provide. This is one of my first forum posts since I usually I don't write new posts when I have problems, because if you search hard enough you can find the solution already somewhere. However, I have been working on this all day, and I just cannot get it to work. The fact that the one game works makes me sure it is possible, just some configuration that needs tweaking, etc.

Has anyone else started randomly getting kicked from being suspected of anti-cheat while just using Linux?

It took me a few days to get everything set up properly and now that I finally figured out all of the tweaking necessary, I can't even play the multiplayer for longer than a minute now without being rejected by the anti cheat server....

Have tried multiple different options to work around this I even went in and made sure that proton easy anti-cheat runtime is installed. I've verified the integrity of that. Tried flushing my DNS and rebooting my router even though I'm I'm pretty assured that that's not the issue...

The scheme runs fine on the steam deck and I never got kicked but I did only play for one or two rounds to test it.

Previous to this I was playing for a few hours and no issues. It's super frustrating that Microsoft wants to go through this much. B**S to keep people from playing their games...

If anyone knows any fix please let me know. I would like to continue playing gears reloaded since I paid for it. I don't want to use Windows anymore..

15 years of windows user here as the title says! 👋

Nobara installed & got sick of Windows. Heard Nobara was the most 'windows friendly' OS out there so I can see how it is.

I got a couple steam games installed & watched a few videos of how to use G Overlay since MSI Afterburner isnt compatible with Linux. I'm pretty sure I've got all the settings & configuration correct in G Overlay, but cant figure out why it wont show up.

Im trying a small game like Terraria to test it first. The toggle key wont work & i pasted the command in the launch options for Terraria too.

I have terrible performance at Blood West. I use the Heroic Launcher and play a game from Epic Games.

I have integrated graphics, which isn't the most powerful, but I swear Fallout New Vegas, Flatout 2, and Dota 2 run at 30-60 FPS. This game isn't even close in terms of graphics. Why is it so bad? My fps is about to be 15-30.

I switched over from FPS Unlock to AAGL for the time being because it seems to be the only way for now to not get the 10010-4001 error.

That said, I tried everything getting HDR to work but nothing seems to work. I tried changing the registry and putting various launch arguments both in AAGL and the Steam shortcut.

If anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated

It just doesn't seem to want to work and all the fixes I've found online and tried don't seem to work, and I can't figure out how to install the xdg portal thing. I've already tried

library_folder_add

and it throws the error message "Failed mounting that path!" Even though I already have my hard drive mounted.

Any help would be appreciated

Hope i tabbed this right.

So my major problem is currently after about 2-3 mins of standing around and/or huntinf or really anything, GAME FREEZES just stops and it so bad my whole computer freezes up, i can quick swap windows with hotkeys and it will take a few minutes to finally catch up but entire computer is now moving slower than a snail buried in sand.

I just need pointing in the right direction of what that can be symptoms of.

Im running experimental proton on steam and have tested a range of graphic option on the game.

Nothing else causes freezes like this even MASSIVELY modded skyrim or even Cyberpunk other very intensive strain on my GPU than can handle that perfectly fine. It is exclusively MonHun. I even downloaded onto my work computer that i run a different version of Linux and different driver and i still freeze.

Again just need pointing to the right diagnostics because on my end im running out of options.

I even switch my driver from Open source to proprietary and back. At least the freeze is consistent.

CS2 Random FPS Drops on Linux (Fedora 43 / RX 7900 XT)

I’ve been dealing with random FPS drops in Counter-Strike 2 on Linux and can’t pin down the cause.

The game will run perfectly smooth at 160–300 FPS, then suddenly drop to 60–100 FPS with:

• microstutters
• bad frame pacing
• screen tearing

No clear trigger.

Sometimes:

• it happens after a few rounds
• sometimes at match start
• sometimes it fixes itself mid-match

When FPS is high → game feels amazing
When FPS drops → feels awful, even though FPS isn’t “low”

System

• OS: Fedora 43
• DE: KDE Plasma (also tested GNOME)
• Session: Wayland & X11
• CPU: Ryzen 7 5700X
• GPU: RX 7900 XT
• Mesa: stable + Mesa Git tested
• Monitor: 165 Hz (DisplayPort)

What I’ve Tried (no fix)

Monitors / Display

• Disconnected all extra monitors
• Swapped DisplayPort cables
• Disabled HDR
• Disabled FreeSync / VRR
• Tested fullscreen vs borderless

Drivers / Graphics

• Mesa stable
• Mesa Git (felt better briefly, then same issue)
• Vulkan shader pre-caching ON / OFF
• Confirmed RADV + Vulkan in use

Desktop / Compositor

• KDE Wayland
• KDE X11
• GNOME Wayland
• GNOME X11
• Compositor disabled where possible

Steam / CS2

• Launch options tested:gamemoderun %command% -fullscreen -vulkan -novid -nojoy
• Also tested:
  • no launch options
  • FPS caps on/off
  • in-game vs external limiters
  • Steam shader preloading on/off

Performance

• GameMode confirmed working
• Gamescope tested (no consistent improvement)
• CPU governor boosting correctly
• No thermal throttling

What I’m Seeing

• GPU usage often drops when FPS drops
• CPU not maxed
• Temps normal
• Happens on any map
• Doesn’t behave like a normal CPU bottleneck
• Feels like frame pacing / driver / compositor scheduling

Why This Is Frustrating

• Other games run great on Linux
• This only happens in CS2
• Same hardware performs fine on Windows (from what I’ve seen)

What I’m Hoping For

If anyone has:

• a Mesa version that works better
• AMD-specific CS2 tweaks
• KDE / Wayland settings that help
• confirmation this is a known CS2 Linux issue

I’d really appreciate it.
At this point I just want consistent frame pacing, even if FPS is lower.

I don't really understand how licensing works, so please help me understand.

Why in order for the Steam Machine to support HDMI 2.1 on Linux, the HDMI Forum is required to make their code open source? Why don't they ship a proprietary module which is downloaded on the internet, like how Windows downloads drivers through Windows Update?

I know there used to be proprietary Vulkan drivers from AMD before they ditched it and started going full support on Mesa, so it is possible to have some proprietary things on Linux. But why does every now and then there's something that can't be released on Linux due to licensing?

Hi everyone!
I’m a big fan of Angry Birds Epic, and since it’s basically abandonware now, I decided to try running the community-made PC Port (v3.0.1) on my Linux machine.

The Issue:
At first, the Proton inside the AppImage freaked out with a “read-only file system” error — couldn’t write its prefix inside the AppImage. Classic sandbox headache. 😅

The Fix:
I made an AppRun script that redirects Proton’s prefix and fake Steam paths outside the AppImage into $HOME/.local/share/. Created the necessary folders (/pfx etc.) and set some flags (PROTON_NO_ESYNC & PROTON_NO_FSYNC). Now it can write files properly and launch without any errors.

The Result:
The game runs perfectly, saves progress, it recognizes which language your system is using, something that didn't work when running only with Proton (or maybe I just didn't try hard enough)., and it’s super smooth!

I was so hyped to see this working!

I've recently been playing some ROM hacked pokemon games. To improve my experience I bought a gamepad, IINE Mini Gamepad (linked), and I cannot get it to give any input at all. I have tried connecting it in the 4 different modes that it offers. It gets recognized in all of them, but no input is detected. I have tried using online keyboard detectors, the emulator's controller setup menu, and evtest. Still nothing. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Running Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon Version 6.2.9

hey all so ive noticed a strange issue with gears 5 that i havent seen with any other game yet. So i go to play it and it works fine and can play as long as i want no issues. The problems come in when i go back to play again. it always opens up to the easy anticheat splash screen then just closes.

I run it through gamescope for the hdr and ive noticed 2 things: i can get it to launch again by ignoring gamescope and using just proton or i can get it to run with gamescope but i have to either reverify games files (fixes it about half the time) or use a different proton wether its cachyos or GE or proton 9.0.4, the version doesnt seem to matter to much as long as its one that i havent used yet.

Im still looking into it but have no idea where to start or anything.

PS. would also like to add that i have it on steam deck too and it always works 100% hdr and all, its still on the stock steamos
